Following the unveiling of its next-generation electric vehicle (EV) technologies, Toyota Motor Corporation now has strong momentum heading into a (possible) EV-only future. In a recent announcement, the Japanese automaker revealed that it could share the new EV technologies with local partners to bolster its presence in the electric car market.
Automotive News reports that automakers like Subaru, Mazda, Suzuki, Daihatsu, Hino, and Isuzu may receive Toyota’s in-development EV tech. Together, the alliance, formed through cross-shareholdings, has posted global sales of 16.3 million units.
Toyota’s next-gen EV tech promises to deliver a cruising range of 930 miles (1,500 km) using solid-state batteries, almost twice what long-range all-electric cars offer today. It looks to add over 600 miles in 10 minutes of charging.
